■ 6.9 It was supposed to be a happy ending...

Honey, welcome home. Hm? There was another weird woman in front of the shop today, doing indecent things the whole time and business couldn’t go on? That must’ve been tough… the security in this town is getting worse and worse. Eh? She was an elf? No way… elves are all like me, noble-born, a very dignified race… Doing filthy things in front of everyone… that’s falling too low, even for “fallen.” Anyway, more importantly… the loan guy came today, so I paid back the full 5 million yen of the debt. We still have about 5 million left over… You’ve always said you wanted to expand the shop, right? With this money, we can do so many things… No, it’s fine. It’s money borrowed from the Owner… I mean, my brother, so there’s no need to rush paying it back. We might not even have to return it… No, it’s nothing. You want to thank him? Ah, well… my brother already left for some business far away, so he won’t be back for a while. Let’s do that next time. Ah, more importantly… today is our 2nd wedding anniversary, so let’s do it again after so long. Starting with a kiss… This past month, I’ve been having terrible dreams nonstop… I want you to comfort me. I was so lonely and scared… But now that you’re by my side, I’m okay. Me too. No matter what happens, I’ll always love you. ……Thank you very much.
